Keith Olbermann has taken over the Thurber segment this week, telling when he became a dog person.
Episode #44 of the Countdown podcast is up.
A-Block (1:29) SPECIAL COMMENT: This should’ve been a landmark day at the Supreme Court with Judge Jackson’s Investiture.
Instead it’s again about the prejudice, the dishonesty, the proselytizing of Samuel Alito and the threat contained in his response to Justice Kagan: “Saying or implying that the court is becoming an illegitimate institution or questioning our integrity crosses an important line.”
New Gallup poll shows trust in the Court has dropped from 67% to 47% in just two years.
Alito thinks his job is to create laws that protect the “role” of Jesus in American life, and said so in Rome in July.
And hidden within his reference to criticism that “crosses an important line” is a threat that Alito thinks the Court should ACT against those who dare to stand up against the theocracy he and the other political prostitutes of this course are building as we speak. B-Block (17:56) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Gulf Coast Humane Society
(19:06) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: John Harris of Politico believes Maggie Haberman and the other Suppress-The-News-Til-You-Get-A-Book-Deal hacks proved journalism is “more powerful than Trump.” He competes with LIV Golf and Ben Shapiro for the honors.
(24:12) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Exactly 10 years ago today my then-girlfriend faced the heartbreak of a dying family dog by telling me “I need a puppy fix.” What followed was probably the most important day of my life. C-Block (38:13) Part Two of Things I Promised Not To Tell: Rudy Giuliani makes a cameo appearance in the middle of my meltdown and the ultimate triumph of love at first sight — and you’ll hear from the girl herself.
As Keith himself says: Well, that’s all the damage I can do here for now. Good night and good luck.
As he doesn’t say: 39 days [I think I miscounted earlier] until the day after the midterms, when Donald Trump will be arrested (maybe).
[EDIT:] Added “dogs” tag and the rest of the article below.
One thing that Keith said, Mom and I have said about our dachshunds: “Don’t make eye contact, don’t make eye contact,” because if you did, they’d jump up on you and go into a licking frenzy. And we all (Mom, Dad, and I) went into a pet shop “just to look” at the puppies, and we ended up with Fritz. We went to check out a dachshund puppy who had “a flaw” (missing a testicle) and ended up with Tobi. And we wanted to see what a long-haired dachshund looked like, and ended up with Harry Willy.
Mom and Dad got #1, Daisy, before I was born, and I don’t remember the story, and #5, Katie, was one of my brother’s friends who realized that by getting a dachshund, he’d gotten in over his head.
Mom was attacked by a big dog when she was little. Tina, one of Dad’s relative’s dachshund, convinced her that dogs can be nice, too.
